ICMP 2000 Spring Class Begins New Term

HONOLULUÑJAIMS welcomed a new group of eager students to its 2000 Spring Intercultural Management Program this week. The class of 26 represents six countries—Japan, Korea, Cambodia, India, Philippines and France.

Five of these students had arrived in Hawaii earlier for a two-week workshop on cross-cultural competency, conducted by ICMP instructor Larry Smith. And for the first time—as part of the exchange program with Reims Management School in France—one French student is participating in ICMP. In the 1999 Fall program, three participants had chosen Reims' International Management Programme as their study option after completing the four-month ICMP coursework in Honolulu.

All the students bring with them diverse work experiences from varied industries, including computer systems development, oil and petroleum, translation, travel, tourism and international relations, hotel and restaurant consulting, manufacturing, pharmaceutical sales, real estate and engineering.
